Code example and export

Usage notes

Prefer addEventListener

Use event listeners instead of inline handlers in HTML. This keeps structure, behavior and maintainability better separated.

Remove events cleanly

If a listener needs to be removed later, use a named function. Anonymous functions are harder to remove again.

Use delegation

For many similar elements, one shared listener on a container can be more efficient than many individual listeners.
